in court if you stick to balcka nd white and not BEACH wear ( shiver me timbers) then you are ok

probation gal turned up in a boob revealing beach top the other week
we told her to sort it aaaaaaaaaaaaht

MamaG · 18/07/2006 13:33

Prob with dresses on me is that they tend to "hang" from norks and make me look huuuge

I don't suit dresses, have long legs compared to bod, so waist is always too low on a dress, if I get one without a waist, it hangs from large bosom!
